VEHICLE HUB-BAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.368,201- dated August 16, 1887.

Application filed May 14, 1887. Serial No. 238,221. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it k nown that we, CHARLES MILLs GREEN, manufacturer of brass goods, and CHARLEs BREWER, brass-spinner, both of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario,Canada, have jointly invented a certain new and useful Improvementin Hub- Bands for Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a light and handsomely-finished hubband for vehicles capable of being produced at a low cost; and it consists, essentially, of a hubband composed of an iron ring having a sheetbrass cover, with an internally projecting flange extending around the outer edge of the band to cover the exposed portion of its interior.

Figure l is a perspective view of our improved hub-band. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.

A represents an iron ring, and B a sheetbrass cover for the said iron ring,which cover has an inwardly-projecting flange, a, extending around the outer edge of the iron ring A, so as to cover the exposed portion of its interior, as indicated.

In the manufacture of our improved hubband we bevel the inner edge, I), of the ring A, so that when the cover B is slipped onto the ring A the inner edge of the brass cover B may be clamped over the edge 1) without reducing the inner diameter of the ring A. Besides beveling the inner edge, b,we make that portion of the ring A slightlylargerin diameter than the main body of the said ring, so that when the brass cover B is placed in position and its inner edge flanged or clamped around the edge I) a slight head is formed around the said inner edge, so as to give a handsome finished appearance to the hub-band.

It is of course understood that when the hub-band is placed in position on the wheel its outer end projects beyond the hub. It is therefore necessary that the outer edge of the band should be finished; hence the object of our internally-projecting flange a.

\Vhat we claim as our invention is- 1.. As a new article of manufacture, a hubband composed of an iron ring havinga sheetbrass cover entirely covering the outersurface of the same, and formed with an internallyprojecting flange extending around the outer edge of the band to cover the exposed portion of its interior, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. An iron ring, A, having its inner edge, I), beveled, in combination with a sheet-brass c0ver,B,having an inwardly-proj ecting flange, a,and clamped at its other end around the beveled edge of the ring A, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
